Dive into My Heart

It started with a Lake.

It started with kids sneaking out at night.

It grew to more than they could imagine.

And it ended with a splash.

"Excellent work today, Ienzo. It seems that our research is complete for today. You may be dismissed." The young teen bowed his head in response and walked out of Dr. Even's laboratory.

Ienzo reached his room of the castle some time after 8:30. He shed his knee-length lab coat, leaving his worn jeans, a blue long sleeved shirt and a v-neck sweater vest on top. Indigo eyes gazed outside the window to see the beginning of a twilight sky.

The young man reached for his bookshelf, picking up a hard cover at random and sat in his cozy corner. Ienzo loved to read. When not down in the lab with the other inhabitants of the castle, he would explore the outside world, the written pages as his looking-glass. Even when he was new to this castle, Ienzo liked to sit with his father, a large encyclopaedia in his lap.

He'd been here for little over ten years. Taken in by scientists, and being treated as their own. From that, he's developed an analytical mind and a factual look on life. After all, this town and this castle is all he knows life to be. But Ienzo was content. He had a place to live, people to call his family and a goal to achieve. He and the six others were studying the secrets of the heart. And that, is what Ienzo has learned to live for.

At around 9:15, the glowing blue-gray sky created shadows all across Radiant Garden. Ienzo took note of the silence throughout the castle before shutting his book. He uncovered a black sweatshirt from underneath his bed and ducked out of the open window.

Sure, he was content. But this was something more. Something his. Something that made his life a little less …plastic. He'd been doing this ever since he was 12. Five years later and it's become habitual. But he could never be caught. He could never tell the people he called his family. That's why after shimmying down the tall white oak, much like a koala bear, Ienzo pulled his hood up. And disappeared into the night.

I just wanted to post something alongside FlamSi.
